As of 2 years ago (really), I gave up on this application due to inactivity. It showed little promise from the get-go anyways.
Here is my unofficial statement stating that this project is dead in all angles and views. You've lost the support of about 100 not including me as of today.

Bad encoded data when loading torrents created with newer versions of uT.

There's 1.

The simple fact is that many trackers are removing tornado from their whitelists simply because of lack of development.
I don't agree with this stance, if a client is stable and causes no adverse affects to the tracker then why ban it?

I've yet to see any evidence of security holes, protocol issues or serious bugs that normally result in a tracker banning a client, but if the trackers DO ban it then tornado will die won't it?
